Maine lobstermen rail against Golden’s radical energy agenda

August 22, 2022

Fox News reports Maine lobstermen are facing a multitude of issues putting their livelihoods at risk thanks to Democrats’ failed progressive agenda.

Rising costs are hurting their bottom line, but one lobsterman says new regulations due to Right Whales and the Biden Administration’s push to industrialize the Gulf of Maine with windmills are real threats as well:

Jared Golden’s vote for the IRA provided an additional $2.6 billion to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) responsible for implementing new gear restrictions on lobstermen.

And as the Biden Administration takes first steps to develop offshore wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine, Golden is an enthusiastic supporter of the project.
